PUPILS of two Flintshire schools joined 80 children from across Wales at a CânSing event in Cardiff’s Millennium Centre.

Youngsters from Custom House Lane School in Connah’s Quay and Southdown Primary in Buckley took part in the initiative, which is funded by the Welsh Assembly and gives youngsters more opportunities to sing at school.

Pupils performed songs including the bilingual Sing Out Loud, composed especially for the programme.

They were joined by Tim Rhys Evans and Aled Powys Williams of Only Men Aloud.

Project manager Suzanne Barnes said: “CânSing represents an investment in both our history and in our future Wales as the land of song.”
